Technical Abstract

Disclosed in the present application are a display apparatus and a processing method. According to the method, a data stream from the external device in connection with the display apparatus is received; a device information frame in the data stream is obtained, where the device information frame is a data frame generated by the external device according to a basic transmission protocol between the external device and the display apparatus; marker bits in the device information frame are traversed; in response to the external device supporting the automatic control protocol, a play mode is switched according to usage scenario information added in the data stream; and in response to the external device not supporting the automatic control protocol, a play mode is switched according to a device type of the external device.

3

3. The display apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the instructions to cause the display apparatus to: in response to the external device supporting the automatic control protocol, read an auto low-latency mode (ALLM) state parameter from the data stream; in response to the ALLM state parameter being a first value, switch the play mode to the LLM; and in response to the ALLM state parameter being a second value different from the first value, switch the play mode to the HIQM.

4

4. The display apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the instructions to cause the display apparatus to: in response to the external device supporting the automatic control protocol, obtain the device type of the external device from the data stream; in response to the device type being a single-mode device, switch the play mode into a mode supported by the single-mode device; and in response to the device type being a multi-mode device, configure an extension protocol and switch the play mode according to the extension protocol; wherein the extension protocol is configured to transfer the usage scenario information of the external device.

5

5. The display apparatus according to claim 4, wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the instructions to cause the display apparatus to: in response to the device type being the multi-mode device, periodically obtain protocol frame data; traverse parameter values in a plurality of bits in the protocol frame data; read current usage scenario information according to a combination of the parameter values in the plurality of bits; and set the play mode to a mode which adapts to the current usage scenario information.

6

6. The display apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the mode which adapts to the current usage scenario information comprises a complete LLM and a non-complete LLM.

7

7. The display apparatus according to claim 6, wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the instructions to cause the display apparatus to: in response to the mode which adapts to the current usage scenario information being the complete LLM, shut down all image quality processing options for the data stream; and in response to the mode which adapts to the current usage scenario information being the non-complete LLM, shut down all image quality processing options other than a specified image quality processing option for the data stream.

8
